I am a dreamer. I've always been a dreamer. Some may not have worked out the way I hoped they would, but I also believe that everything happens for a reason.

Writing has changed my entire life. It brings happiness and fulfillment to areas in my life that I didn't even know I was missing. It's also one of the hardest jobs I've ever done. It takes me away from my family, friends, and the little day-to-day tasks that once upon a time seemed normal. Sometimes I like to revisit my portfolio of old short stories, poems, and the inspirational quotes I have kept for many years. Reading through it all shows how far I've come and that the journey I am on now is exactly what I dreamed of many years ago. This makes me smile.

A long time ago, I used to write short stories and poems in journals and kept them privately to myself. It took quite some time and many sacrifices, but now I have four published books and have my very own writing cave. What the heck is that? Well, it's my second home where I laugh, dream, imagine, and write my heart out to hopefully produce something that will make other people smile.

I call New Jersey home where I share my life with my husband, Henry, and our three sons.

Life is an incredible journey.

We are all an open book. Every day is a new chapter to write in our story. Lessons are to be learned and shared.
